This set includes over 1,500 cards covering all MBE topics (except for Civil Procedure which will be added to the bar exam in 2015). Unlike most commercial flash cards, they use a Q&A format rather than a term/definition format which I found improved my retention of the correct response. I used these cards in conjunction with BARBRI and Adaptibar, and passed the bar on my first attempt.I recommend dividing them into separate subjects using rubber bands, and drilling on each subject after first listening to a lecture or reading an outline. Going through one stack of 200 cards can take up to an hour, so I recommend running through these no more than three times and at strategic points in your study schedule (beginning, middle, and a week out from the exam). They complement more comprehensive study materials and were useful to see slightly different phrasing/explanations for key terms and concepts.
I took my first bar more than 20 years ago and got this set to help me prepare for another one. Because it's been so long, I didn't want to wait until the Barbri course started to begin preparing for the bar. The cards are thorough and cover all the black letter law for the MBE topics. They are different from the MPRE Law in a Flash Flash Cards, in that they are just the black letter law and do not have hypothetical questions.I will be taking the Feb. bar and will use Barbri as my primary review. Although the Barbri classes haven't started yet, I now have access to some of the online Barbri materials, including the AMP program, which they recommend you do at the beginning of the course. These Law in a Flash Flash Cards are actually very similar to the Barbri AMP program, straight black letter.You definitely get more than your money's worth out of these cards, and I am very glad I bought them.
I'm the kind of person that thinks the action of making flashcards is just as important as actually learning what's on the flashcards. However, studying for the bar is so time consuming (at least it should be, if you're doing it right!) that it's just impractical to go to class, do your assignments and make flashcards at the same time. These cards saved me so much time, and are actually quite helpful in learning the black letter law for the MBE subjects. I'd highly recommend getting these at the start of your studying and using them throughout the process if you respond well to flashcards like I do. They can be a little repetitive, and that are just so many of them that it's impossible to learn them all perfectly, but that's just the nature of the exam.
The cards are thorough on the topics included. After taking an old MBE test on the areas that I studied using the cards, I felt well prepared and the questions seemed, dare I say it, easy.However, the Conlaw cards are missing everything related to First Amendment issues! These cards are apparently contained in individual Conlaw set, but not in the MBE set. This is a problem if someone is relying solely upon these to review for all the areas of law covered on the MBE.Given the positive results with the content that was provided, I would have rated this set a "5," but the missing material is very troubling. I have an email out to the publisher. If I get a reply, I will update.
If you like studying with flash cards, this is a great set. The sheer amount of cards is really overwhelming. I segmented them out by topic, and then again in random small piles. I am studying for the bar exam, and grab a small pile to carry in my purse when I'm out. If I have down time, standing in lines, waiting for something, then cards. I can see how people would be completely overwhelmed though- so many cards. It's almost impossible to get through them all. For me, the fact that I will never get to all of them not a concern- I didn't buy them to learn from them, I bought them to make small portable piles so I am constantly thinking about this stuff.
I am sitting for the South Carolina bar exam in about a week (July 2016), and I picked this up to refresh my memory since my last bar exam (2012). The cards are very good and thorough. I have only three complaints. First and foremost, for anyone taking the MBE/UBE at or after the time of taking this, know that this is the older version of the flash cards and reflects the MBE when civil procedure was not a tested subject. As such, the cards will do well for the six topics covered, but be sure to balance out with some civil procedure on the side. Second, a couple of the cards have questions which make it completely unable to ascertain what they are asking. The point of law on the back of the card in the answer is accurate and you'll learn the concept, but I would mark those which do not make sense so as to not waste your time. Third, I was missing a card in my set (number 83 I think). Not a big deal, as most topics are covered in various ways usually about three times throughout the set, but I just think that people should be on notice for the potential of a missing card. Even with those three caveats, however, I don't see how you can beat the reduced price, even without the civ pro.
I bought these cards for my second attempt at the bar. I absolutely LOVED them! The cards were extremely thorough and allowed me to test myself based on subject. There were over 1,000 cards which helped me in the very beginning of my studies. I made my own flashcards for state specific materials. The combination of my cards with these were perfect but you have to study the other material as well! This was the best $40 I spent. I passed the bar on the second try!! I highly recommend them!
